Chapter 10 Peace for All Generations
When Wei Chiwei heard Zhao Su's words, he was so angry that his eyes were so dark that he almost fainted to death. Pointing at Zhao Su, he couldn't say a word for a long time.
When he met such a stupid grandson, he was really powerless to return to the sky, and he could only wail in his heart: "Daughter, my father is sorry for you." It's not that the father is incompetent, it's really the son you gave birth to, and the mud can't support the wall. ”
"That's it, you can see for yourself." He was completely disappointed in Zhao Su and didn't want to get involved in the matter of Lichu anymore.
Li Chengyun and the three of them glanced at each other, and their eyes showed joy. The crown prince is so stupid, if he can't be deposed today, the surnames of several of them can be written backwards.
"Hehe......" Yuwen Chengshun had just been scolded by Zhao Su, how could he let go of the opportunity to fall into the well at this time.
He arched his hand to the old emperor on the bed and said with a smile: "The prince is really a scholar, so please ask His Royal Highness the prince to talk about it in the court, and your so-called little Doyle's statecraft will also let me wait for a long time." ”
Zhao Su didn't seem to hear the meaning of the other party's words, and said proudly: "Pedant celestials don't dare to say it, but for an old antique like you who can only hold a few scriptures and classics, Zi Yue Shiyun, it is indeed a shame to be smart." ”
"You...... How dare you be disrespectful to a saint! Yuwen Chengshun was once again speechless, and could only roar hysterically.
Zhao Su said: "The lone king respects the master and the saint very much, except for the heaven and earth and the father and the queen mother, the person who the lone king respects the most is the master."
But the lonely king is different from you, you are just thinking about how to recite the classic articles of the master and his old man. And the lonely king is thinking about how to realize the ideal kingdom of the master and his old man. If nothing else, this one thing alone will be judged. ”
Hearing Zhao Su talk eloquently, he even said that he and others did not understand and use the sage's classics as well as him, a hairy boy. Li Chengyun and the others couldn't sit still, blowing their beards and glaring one by one, isn't this a disguised way to say that he and others are not as knowledgeable as him?
"Hubris! The saint's texts are so vast that he may not be able to study them all in his lifetime. You have only studied for ten years, where do you know the way of the sage. Yang Rucheng said coldly.
Regarding academics, not to mention the crown prince, even if he is the current emperor, he has to fight on the basis of reason.
Zhao Su did not retreat at all in the face of Taifu, a scholar, but asked out loud: "The Confucian and Mencian classics only have seven books: "Analects", "University", "The Mean", "Mencius", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn". Dare to ask Master Taifu Yang, where did the vast sea come from? ”
"Hmph, doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that Cheng Zhu's science and mind classics do not belong to the way of Confucius and Mencius?" Yang Rucheng shouted in a deep voice.
Confucianism has flourished from the Tao of Confucius and Mencius to the present, and many people have made various commentaries on the Four Books and Five Classics, forming various schools. Cheng Zhu science and mind science are the two most famous schools of thought in Daqin now.
"To learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, you only need to study the classics of Confucius and Mencius. Other commentaries are just the words of one family, and it is okay not to learn them. Zhao Su was not dismissive of other classics at all.
Not only Yang Rucheng, but even Li Chengyun began to attack at this time: "You actually blasphemed Cheng Zhu Lixue......"
"Shousuke-sama, don't button your hat indiscriminately. King Gu didn't blaspheme Cheng Zhu Lixue, he just didn't read them. Zhao Su shook his head, a serious way.
Several of them were loyal supporters of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and Zhao Su denied or even did not study such classics. One by one, they were angry and bullfighting, and they couldn't wait to rush up and punch and kick him.
Without waiting for a few people to attack again, Zhao Su asked again: "Dare to be Lord Shoufu, do you know what the most important sentence of Confucius and Mencius is?" ”
"Naturally, it is a monarch and a minister, a father and son." Shoufu Li Chengyun said confidently that this little problem would not be difficult for him at all.
Who knew that Zhao Su directly denied: "Wrong, and it's a big mistake." ”
Li Chengyun's face sank, and he asked angrily: "The old man has studied the way of Confucius and Mencius for more than 40 years, and I don't know what is wrong?" ”
Zhao Su clasped his fists at the old emperor and said respectfully: "Father, the most important knowledge of the way of Confucius and Mencius is 'do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself', 'there is no class in education' and 'the six arts of a gentleman'.
Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, that is, to tell the princes and kings of the court that they must empathize with the people when formulating national policies. You don't want to do something, but let the people do it, and they are naturally not happy. If it is forcibly promoted, it will boil public resentment at least and provoke popular unrest at worst.
There is a meaning that there is no class in teaching, and Confucian knowledge should not only be passed down among the big families. Instead, we should let everyone in the world be literate and hyphenated, and learn the way of Confucius and Mencius and the laws and national policies formulated by my father.
The six arts of a gentleman are divided into: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Every scholar should learn these six skills, and on the other hand, I am the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, how many of you know the six arts of gentlemen? ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Su suddenly became full of pride, and said to the old emperor: "Father, please think about it." If I get off the horse and 10,000,000 people in Daqin, they can read and hyphenate, and work and cultivate. On the horse, you can bend the bow and arrows, and go out with the army.
At that time, the father raised his arms and shouted, and millions of iron horsemen gathered, who in the world can compete with him? When the time comes, the father will definitely be able to sweep away the enemies in all directions, make the barbarians in all directions submit, and become the co-lord of the eight directions. ”
This passage was sonorous, powerful, and full of demagogic words, which made the old emperor blush and breathe rapidly. A magnificent picture came to mind.
He was dressed in golden armor, and behind him were millions of iron horsemen. Wherever the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand is pointed, a million iron horsemen will step on it like a fierce beast. He truly swept away all the enemies in all directions, led Great Qin on the road to the empire, and became the palace master of the world.
"Good! Good! Good! The old emperor drank and said three good words in a row.
What Confucianism or Legalism did not matter in the eyes of the emperor. Only a doctrine that is beneficial to the emperor and the world is a good doctrine. Now that he heard that Zhao Su had such a deep insight into Confucianism, he was naturally very happy.
Zhao Su's words just now not only made the old emperor excited, but even the fourth prince and the sixth prince were a little enthusiastic. They also want to be the emperor of Great Qin, and they also want to be the co-masters of the world.
Zhao Su continued: "Father, the son thinks so." Our generation should not only learn the way of Confucius and Mencius. We should also achieve the unity of knowledge and action, and achieve 'establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations', so that this life is not in vain. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Zhao Su in disbelief. No one thought that Zhao Su, who had always been cowardly and incompetent and stupid for three years, and had abandoned three years of study, would be able to say such a sentence.
Leave aside the rest, just rely on these four sentences. The two words Zhao Su can leave a name in history, and even leave a strong mark in the annals of Huanghuang.
When the old emperor heard this, he was so excited that he almost picked it up from the bed, and laughed: "Okay, my son Zhao Su has the posture of a great emperor." ”
